Bug#1063518: console-setup: setupcon: 1386: Syntax error: Missing '))'



09.02.2024 16:58, cacin@allfreemail.net
Package: console-setup
Followup-For: Bug #1063518

Consider making all scripts provided by console-setup shellcheck-clean, there are lots of tiny issues that can turn into big issues under the right conditions.

Please do not do this. Shellcheck is a huge problem and we had large amount
of bugs due to people trying to apply its suggestions.  It's very difficult
in many cases to spot why shellcheck is wrong (classic is the suggestion to
put $var into double quotes "$var" which breaks badly if $var is supposed to
contain zero or more separate words - this way, even boot scripts has become
buggy leading to system becoming unbootable).

Shellcheck is a very bad tool.
